I'll get to try out OOH streaming in about a week. I'm attending NAB in Vegas for 4 days. I'll report back my honest opinion when I return. I have experience with both in home Stream and SlingBox OOH so I have a good idea of how I expect it to work. We'll see if it lives up to my expectations.

So how's it working out for you ? Show a screen picture if you get it to work .

I thought all TiVo streaming had to be setup at home . Are you using a Roamio or a separate TiVo Stream box ?

Stand alone, but as far as I can tell only the initial setup must be at home. My guess is this requirement has something to do with configuring the proxy server that Tivo uses. I have had on more than one occasion, the app fail to connect and tell me that I need to run setup, I simply ran setup, the stream was found and configured with no issues even though I wash't home.

I tried to do setup away from the house and it would not work .

I'll try again when I'm away from the house and this bug shows up again, which I'm sure it will .

Ok I've watched a couple of things so far on my trip and even with the slow hotel WiFi (1-1.5Mbps) it's been fine. The only complaint I have is the audio starts to sound a bit weird with lower bars. When you get to the 2-3 bar level the video looks SD, but is watchable, but the audio sounds a bit like everyone is talking through a tin can. At 4 bars or higher it sounds OK. I think they'd be better served bumping the audio a bit and sacrificing a bit of video. We've found in our product that people are much more sensitive to audio glitches then video glitches. (to a limit) Maybe they could even use VFR video to save bits and dedicate more to audio. (VFR = Variable Frame Rate)

But all in all it's been so far so good.

Why should anyone feed you on this? we already know as far as you're concerned the Stream is utter and total crap and your slingbox kicks its butt and you won't stop until you have everyone agreeing with you about the Stream.

I've spent all afternoon watching the race in Texas on a wifi signal that barely supports streaming AUDIO and while the quality of the video is mediocre at best, I can still watch the race live.

I don't give a care about "your pics" nor do I care to bother to post what I've admitted was a mediocre but acceptable experience, I'm not saying it was Blu-ray quality, I'm saying I was able to stream in a bandwidth challenged environment that has trouble with audio only.

You need to change your tune, the constant refrain of "show me pics" was old months ago, no Stream image will ever be good enough for you, so why should we bother?
